A unique concert in the heart of Montmartre in the église Saint-Jean de Montmartre where Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Corelli's Christmas Concerto grosso, and Tino Rossi's arrangement of "Petit Papa Noël" will resonate.

Sarah Nemtanu, violin
Sarah Nemtanu's artistic journey clearly reflects her generous, curious, and enterprising personality: from orchestral activities to chamber music, including founding festivals and performing alongside artists from diverse backgrounds, Sarah Nemtanu is full of energy and new ideas. She was appointed concertmaster (premier violon solo) of the Orchestre National de France at barely 21 years old. In 2007, she was named "instrumental soloist revelation of the year" at the Victoires de la Musique Classique. Her journey began in Bordeaux, her native city, where she started violin with her father Vladimir Nemtanu, concertmaster of the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine. Showing remarkable precocity, she entered Gérard Poulet's violin class at the CNSMD of Paris at 16 years old. Studying under Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jean Mouillère, and Alain Meunier, she obtained unanimous first prizes in violin and chamber music. After her successes in international competitions (Maurice Ravel First Prize in Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 1998, 3rd prize at the Antonio Stradivarius international competition in 2001), she came to wide public attention in Paris in December 2000 at the Cité de la Musique, performing Brahms's Double Concerto with Gautier Capuçon under the baton of Emmanuel Krivine. Her soloist performances with the Orchestre National de France have earned her the highest praise. Her encounters with Bernard Haitink, Sir Colin Davis, and Riccardo Muti led her to the world's most prestigious concert halls: the Berlin Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall in New York, and the Vienna Musikverein. She regularly shares her passion with young musicians through masterclasses, academies, and workshops.
Organized in one of the finest acoustics at the église Saint-Jean de Montmartre, blending Art Nouveau and early twentieth-century innovation, the concert promises a setting that sublimates the vitality of the music. Its acoustics perfectly render the homogeneous sound of the strings, creating an immersive experience. This unique fusion between the soloist's excellence, the ensemble's mastery, and a historical venue guarantees a concert of rare beauty, in perfect harmony between sound and space.
